There were just more than 100 voters as of 11:30 at the First Baptist Church -- one of four voting locations.

James McCarthy, 63, came out because he is concerned about the township, but declined to say which way he voted.

"I don't like the tone of the board meetings," he said. "They are at each other's throats."

Schwieman is facing recall because organizers say he misappropriated $44,000 in funds, "embarrassed" the township with his September drunken driving arrest and "continuously lies" to the board and residents.

Schwieman said he was advised by the township attorney to pay the funds to retired Chief Doug Kennedy.

He apologized to the township and said he has moved on from the drunk driving arrest.

"I think he's doing a great job," said Michelle Zimmerman, who helped organize the recall against four board members last November and voted no today. "I think he has been a strong proponent of the police, which is a very important thing to the community."
